Little Black Pearl Art and Design Academy staff welcomes the feedback from the parents and the community. Parent concerns or complaints are important and priority to staff to ensure the needs of students, parents, and community are effectively being met.  

Parents and Community are encouraged to voice any concerns to the school administration when concerns are raised. In the first instance, parents are encouraged to take a concern or make a complaint to the school. Any complaint raised with the regional or central office that has not been raised at the school level will be referred to the school for resolution (unless there are special circumstances which prevent the school from managing the complaint). The Director of School will determine appropriate complaint procedure. The staff will make every effort to address and resolve concerns and complaints relating to LBPA students and/or staff and will make every effort to resolve a concern or complaint related to it before involving other levels of hierarchy, including the Executive Director, Board Chair and/or District.  

After consideration of the issues raised by the complainant are reviewed, the Director of School is to determine the most appropriate way to address the concern or complaint by using the school’s/district’s general concerns and complaints procedure. 

Any questions or inquiries related to parent concerns or complaints can be submitted directly to the Arlesia Juran, Director of School at adjuran@cps.edu; Dr. Don Pittman, Acting Principal at dpittman23@cps.edu) or Board Chair Valerie Walker vdwalker@gmail.com
